I'm looking for, er I mean I hope st. Nick brings me a firemen set to go with the MTH Fire truck and firehouse accessory. I know MTH once made a set with the seated firemen figures that would fit in the fire truck. I have looked recently and all they seem to have are the standing firemen and people that were rescued from a fire.

Dear Santa: I really would like to find the Lionel Legacy Santa Fe AA War Bonnet Diesel's 6-34573. I will be a good boy. Thank you Santa.

Mine's not very expensive.  I'm looking for the Lionel PRR 26494 Vat Car.

Dear Santa:

This is my train list:

Lionel CN ES44AC

Lionel NS SD80MAC (Road # 7207)

Lionel NKP Mallet Steamer

Thanks

Woody

Oh Santa, I messed up and didn't order the Gold PE set.  Now that I see it.....  Hope you can help.

First, I would like to get what I have on order:

- 3rd Rail Train of Tomorrow

- MTH Imperial Triplex

- MTH Propane turbine

I'll be happy with that for now . . . 

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!  What about the sanity clause?"

"Ain't you hoid...?"

With that in mind, I would like a post war 2065 or 665 locomotive with 2046 whistle tender, both in good operating order and reasonably good cosmetic order.

Dear Santa,

Please bring me a Lionel Train

P.S. I had my eye on the Thomas KinKade rtr Passenger set and Covered Bridge until it became necessary to use our Christmas funds for more urgent concerns.

Dear Santa,

Please bring me the MTH Premier USRA Alaska RR 0-8-0 I have on pre-order.  Other than that, please give me the room to build my 12 x 12 around the walls layout.

Don't forget the milk and cookies I left for you on the end table!

Thank you,

Mark

Dear Santa,

Can bring me a area so I can run my trains.

St. Nick,

All I want for christmas is finished benchwork and a hinged bridge so I can avoid the duck-under.

Hinged bridge - GREAT idea. Add that to my list....

They don't make anything I want.  I have to find mostly used stuff myself in shows and

on the net.

Well since our layout is essentially complete, and I do not have the funds for a Sunset/3rd Rail Southern Pacific oil fired 2-8-8-4 AC-9, I simply will settle for S&W .40 cal ammunition for pleasure shooting, as it keeps me on my toes.

Allllllright Claus, how about stepping away from the bowl of Christmas cookies and get those slacker elves of yours busy on making these items!  Oh, and this year, clean up after your reindeer will ya!

Brian, I don't think you have given your list as much thought as needed. This list is way to short! Santa wants a complete list from you.

I wish for Santa to take all those Daylight cab forwards that are pending shipment to dealers right back to the factory so they can get re-painted in good old engine black & graphite as they were intended to be.

All those great cab forwards from the past are turning over in their locomotive graves and the surviving 4294 is weeping miserably at the very thought that their legacy is being mocked by such a visual travesty.

Gilly 

What's a French Nord?

Ken

A French "Pacific" steam locomotive.....

NORD

I guess I could have said "Chapelon", but it didn't quite flow with the prose.

Gilly

for French Nord all i found was a region of France. All i want is the additional fas-track to run things on and the transformer to do it with.

Brian, this is just a list of items I'd like to see made someday, always subject to updates or additions.    Some are things I missed out on previously or would like a second edition (Acela).  Of course it doesn't include pending pre-orders or potential new catalog goodies.  Think of it as a living document.  

John, I NEED those Penn Central items I listed!  Once I get those I promise not to request any more Penn Central stuff.  (Unless I think of something else later!)  

Dear Santa

 Despite the fact that I have not been such a good kid, I am hopeful that you can make some of my train dreams come true. Here is a list of stuff I want for Christmas. Thanks and as always, I will leave cookies and milk for you when you arrive.

My list:

3 Norfolk and Southern AC6000 MTH locomotives with individual road numbers.

25 Intermodal cars with various railroad names and container loads.

10 modern Lionel auto carriers.

25 modern tankers with individual road numbers. Lionel or MTH

3 MTH Norfolk and Southern SD70Ace premier locomotives  with individual road numbers.

1 MTH Big Boy Union Pacific.

1 DCS system.

A new house with room for a large scale railroad operation.

A new Dodge Ram 3500 Dually with a diesel to haul around my railroad equipment.

Oh.....and if its okay with you, a couple of gallons of that Mocha Pecan Ice Cream for those midnight deals in the YARD!

Other then that.....I'm good.

Thanks, Pete

For christmas I want my wife to get all she ever wants.Then she will not notice my HYPER-train buying BINGE.Nick

The Lionel VL Big Boy would be nice to arrive.  Other than that I asked for stuff to start my new home.  Pretty boring.

Same as an American one, different accent. Too much studying, damaged eyeglasses, and pocket protectors are good indicators...

But train collecting, and bad jokes are dead giveaways. See: "wienie";"Potsie" or "Adriatic".

 Here's my wish Santa, a Polar Express set, or something neat, is left at a local police dept. to be donated to a Christmas eve victim of gift theft. 

 I've still got some of my old stuff you gave me, sorry for what I broke. But thanks again! I think they could use a good memory of this year.

Brian OK, since you put it that way I will ask the big guy to fill your stocking with that PC correct ( NOT ) trains, except for the black GG1, that one is just way to far out there and horrible looking. O the humanities!  A black GG1 with worms painted on it, It was an injustice to see the grand old girls in a flat black, that person who said to paint them up like that should be tared and featherd, drawn and quartererd then handed over to the Spanish inquestition for finishing him off. just a thought.

Hmmmmm, now the Grinch knows Who's house to visit.    Will "Kevin" be prepared?  

I want a brand new Marx train set with a smoking 999 and scale tin cars!

I'd like to see Santa pull that one off!  lol

….except for the black GG1, that one is just way to far out there andhorrible looking. O the humanities!  A black GG1 with worms painted on it,It was an injustice to see the grand old girls in a flat black, that person who said to paint them up like that should be tared and featherd, drawn and quartererd then handed over to the Spanish inquestition for finishing him off. just a thought.

John, does that mean you don't like the black PC GG1?! 

I want an official Red Ryder, carbine action, 200 shot, range model air rifle!
